CHEM 112 Chapter Notes - Chapter 28: Hydrolysis, Carbohydrate, Digestion
Document Summary
Isoelectronic point: ph at which the dipolar structure predominates. Peptide bond: two amino acid molecules can be joined by the elimination of a water molecule between them (forms a dipeptide) Denaturation: lowering solubility and loss of biological activity when proteins are heated or treated with salts. Primary: exact sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide chains that make up a protein. Tertiary: shape of protein molecules (myoglobins) (i. e twisted, knotted, coiled) Quarternary: higher order structure of four subunits (i. e hemoglobin) 28-5: aspects of metabolism metabolism: totality of chemical reactions and life processes catabolism: metabolic process where substances are broken down anabolism: metabolic processes where complex substances are synthesized from simpler ones metabolites: substances involved in metabolism. Starch is converted to maltose and polysaccharides (dextrins: then pass into small intestine. Digestion of fats and oils occurs in small intestines: lipase enzymes, products of enzyme hydrolysis are glycerol, fatty acids and mono/di glycerides.
